I have tried many times ,but I can't see the shimmering effect when launch your project. all the code is the same as when it was downloaded. please give me a hand.

Hey,

it is possible to set the Shimmer on a UIButton? I tried it already and it is not working. How can I modifier the lib for this feature?

ps: thanks for this awesome lib!!

    FBShimmeringView *shimmeringView = [[FBShimmeringView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    [self.view addSubview:shimmeringView];

    shimmeringView.contentView = self.loginBt.titleLabel;

    // Start shimmering.
    shimmeringView.shimmering = YES;

I added the button via storyboard (weak, nonatomic)

I created a view(shimmerView) and added a FBShimmerView onto it. Then I make my app do this loop: Show the shimmerView, go to other views, go to shimmerView, go to other views...

Everything was normal except that something increased in the memory. So I opened Instrument to see what happened. And it showed that instances of FBShimmeringLayer and FBShimmeringMaskLayer increased by one every tine a FBShimmerView is displayed. That means when a FBShimmerView is deallocated, the FBShimmeringLayer is persisted in the memory.
See the screenshot below:

I'm trying to get Shimmer on a programmatically added button. It's a QBFlatButton, userStateButton = [[QBFlatButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((cellView.frame.size.width - (80 + 20)), (self.screenHeight/(cellCount * 4)), 80, ((self.screenHeight + (cellCount * cellCount))/(cellCount * 2)))];

When I turn Shimmer on, the entire bounds that I've set for the button start shimmering (no surprise there, thats what I set the bounds as) so it looks like theres a rectangle around the logout button FBShimmeringView *shimmeringView = [[FBShimmeringView alloc] initWithFrame:userStateButton.bounds];

How would I get just the text of the button to shimmer? I've already tried making the frame of the shimmeringView the frame of the titleLabel (which it turns out is {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}

Any way to do this without adding it to the storyboard like issue #8

I would love to use the shimmeringDirection property but it is not included in the 1.0.1 Cocoapod release.

Can you tag a new release and update the podspec?

The property shimmeringHighlightWidth is causing 2 warnings with strict compiler flags.

The first one is because placing @deprecated right after @abstract in the documentation comment block causes the parser to think the @abstract is empty. This is fixed by moving @deprecated at the end of the comment block.

The second is caused by the method being documented as @deprecated but not marked as such with a compiler attribute. This is fixed by using the DEPRECATED_MSG_ATTRIBUTE macro.

I was see such code in FBShimmeringLayer.m

UIKIT_EXTERN float UIAnimationDragCoefficient(void); 

I'm not so clear about the UIKIT_EXTERN.

please give your comments~thx!

If I'm using Auto Layout on an FBShimmeringView, it doesn't seem to work. It appears to work only when initialized with an explicit frame.

This may be a non-issue and a necessary requirement of the library, but I'm just wondering if there are workarounds. I would like to center a shimmering view, and using rects isn't a great experience.

Thanks!

Ok, I’m surely missing something, but the fact that FBShimmeringLayer can’t simply be used with +layerClass and give whatever view the shimmering effect really bugs me.

Why is there the need for a contentLayer to limit the effect? Shouldn’t be simply self.mask = _maskLayer instead?

I tried this approach and worked perfectly…

(please keep in mind I just moved to Obj-C)

I removed fadeLayer property of FBShimmeringMaskLayer, and commented out all the code related to this property. Everything still works fine. So my questions :

1. What's the purpose of fadeLayer ?
2. Since FBShimmeringMaskLayer is used as a mask layer, only alpha channel will be used. And fadeLayer is a sublayer of it, how does it affect anything here ? I tried to change the background colour of fadeLayer to various colours with various alpha values, but it doesn't have any effect.

Support Carthage by adding a framework scheme and target.

I'm aware there are two PRs (#53 and #55) open for this but they appear to be dead and have merge conflicts.

As part of the iOS 14 /AppTracking Transparency framework, would like to know if any kind of the user data is collected or Tracked by the Shimmer.

As mentioned in the Apple (Ref: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-privacy-on-the-app-store/), below were some of the examples for Tracking:

• Sharing device location data or email lists with a data broker.
• Placing a third-party SDK in our app that combines user data from the app with user data from other developers’ apps to target advertising or measure advertising efficiency, even if we don’t use the SDK for these purposes. For example, using a login SDK that repurposes the data it collects from the app to enable targeted advertising in other developers’ apps.

The following situations are not considered tracking:

• When the data is linked solely on the end-user’s device and is not sent off the device in a way that can identify the end-user or device.
• When the data broker uses the data shared with them solely for fraud detection or prevention or security purposes, and solely on our behalf.

Hi,

I am unable to integrate Shimmer manually in my Custom Framework. I am getting this error Use of undeclared type 'FBShimmeringView'. I have done all the steps and have imported the files in Framework's.h file. Please let me know how I can fix this
